Chapter 3

Did Cameron cheat on her with Dakota behind her back? Impossible! Madison quickly trashed that thought. She had never brought Cameron to meet Dakota in their five years of marriage. Plus, with Dakota's beauty and background, how would she ever set sights on a useless bum like Cameron? Dakota's family may not be considered rich in Yrando, but they were still old blood. Cameron must've stolen the hair bow or found it somewhere! After all, if he could falsify this many love letters from so many beautiful women, what other heinous things couldn't he do? For safety's sake, Madison still decided to call Dakota to make sure. Only Madison could cheat on Cameron, not the other way around! When Madison called Dakota however, no one picked up the call. "She didn't pick up?" Madison wondered to herself, her brows furrowed. Dakota should be busy with work, she thought. She would ask Dakota later then. Madison had promised to go to Darth Holdings with Archie for the business meeting, followed by dinner. She should doll herself up in preparation. So Madison set her phone down and put the hair bow back into its box before going to her makeup dresser. ... Cameron arrived at Darth Holdings in his Maybach around 2:30 pm. A familiar yet strange feeling rose in Cameron's chest as he observed the skyscraper before him. Things had changed greatly in five years' time, including his company. That was why Cameron arrived half an hour earlier to inspect the place. With that feeling in mind, he walked in through the front entrance. The lobby was still set up the same, though it occupied a bigger area than before now. "Blackheart really put in his all," Cameron commented fondly, shaking his head. He was about to scout around the place when the elevator nearby opened its doors with a ding. A man and woman walked out, chatting merrily. The man wore a navy blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked to be in his late twenties. The woman was in a blue ruffled dress and makeup. Her hair had been piled high above her head. Said woman was Madison herself. "You're amazing, Mr. Price. I can't believe you were able to handle someone as tough as Mr. Kane. You must be getting at least one hundred million in profits if this deal goes through," Madison said cheerfully. "Heh. Mr. Kane and I are old friends. All it takes to close the deal is a word from me." "Are you free in the next couple of days, Mr. Price?" Madison asked. "What is it?" "My mother wants to meet you. She's invited you over to have dinner at our home." "Haha, sure! She's too kind," Archie smiled in a gentlemanly way. "Alright. I'll tell my mother." Madison smiled. She presented herself in a warm and demure manner which she never did in front of Cameron. Cameron just so happened to witness this. But there was no emotion in his eyes. Just then, Madison and Archie met face-to-face with Cameron at the front entrance. Madison's expression filled with disgust the moment she saw him. "What are you doing here, Cameron?" "If you can be here, why can't I?" Cameron said, gazing calmly at Madison. What a small world. "Hmph!" Madison sneered. "I'm here with Mr. Price for his business meeting. What about you? Did you come looking for a job as a security guard, or did you want to ask if we could get back together? Let me make myself clear—we are never getting back together!" "Get back together?" Cameron sneered. "You think too much. I'm just returning to my company." "Returning to your company?" Madison reacted as if she'd heard some great joke. She gazed at Cameron in disgust. "Do I need to tell you where we are? This is Yrando's number one company, Darth Holdings. It's worth 30 billion on the market!" "So?" Cameron remained calm. "So aren't you the least bit ashamed of lying?" Madison was all the more angry seeing how calm Cameron was. Cameron's brows furrowed. Why hadn't he realized how low-class of a person Madison was back then? "It's alright, Madison. There's no need to get angry over someone like this," Archie piped up just then. "If he values his pride so much, then let him. You're in the list of top ten outstanding businessmen in Yrando. He's way beneath you." Archie even shot Cameron a look of disdain when he spoke. Archie had no respect for people like Cameron. "You should learn proper manners and demeanor from Mr. Price, Cameron!" Madison said to Cameron. Cameron didn't want to deal with her, so he sidestepped them and continued into the office. "Stand right there!" Madison yelled. "What else do you want?" Cameron asked, brows knit tight. "We haven't settled the divorce compensation yet," Madison snapped. "I don't need compensation, just the divorce. You don't have to worry about me being a bother to you from now on," Cameron said. He then turned to leave. "Compensate you? Did you seriously think I'd do that?" Madison scowled. "Then what do you mean?" Cameron asked coldly, turning back to her. "I'm the one who needs compensation from you for causing me mental distress during our five years of marriage!" "Me? Cause you mental distress?" Cameron was taken aback. He then sneered and said, "I need to compensate you for mental distress when you're the one who cheated on me? Married couples usually still treat one another decently no matter what. Did you have to resort to such cruelty?" "Married couple? You dare bring that up?" Madison said sarcastically as she glared at Cameron. "I writhe in disgust the moment I see you. I never imagined you would be such a perverted person!" "How am I perverted?" Cameron questioned. "Tell me what all those love letters are about then?" Madison retorted. Cameron's eyes widened just the slightest. So Madison did find those letters. That means she would've seen the hair bow. Did she really not remember at all? Though Cameron did not want to bother with explanations, he still said, "Those letters are all genuine." "Bullcrap!" Madison barked. "Who do you think you are having royals and politicians writing love letters to you? Have you even looked at yourself?" "Did that really happen, Madison?" Archie had a look of disbelief on his face. "Yes, Mr. Price. This man secretly wrote tons of fake love letters to himself and even stole a woman's hair bow! He disgusts me to no end! "Hahaha!" Archie laughed out loud and patted Cameron on the shoulder. "You're really something, man. Respect!" Cameron said nothing, though his face soon started turning dark. He looked at Madison and said, "We used to be married. Did you have to slander me like that?" "Slander? Who do you think you are? Why would you be worried about slander if you didn't do all that?" "I've already told you what those love letters are about. But isn't that hair bow yours?" Cameron asked. "No way! I kept my bow in my own drawer! Now tell me where you got that bow from. Did you steal it from my best friend?" "Your best friend?" Something imploded in Cameron's mind. Had he gotten it wrong all these years?
